Students who take their first course in Human Resource Management (HRM) typically study the classical functions of HR practice - job design, recruitment, selection, training and development, compensation and so forth. This is intended to develop their understanding of the HR basics, sometimes referred to as the functions toolkit. However, the student should not limit their study to the functions toolkit if they wish to become actively involved at the strategic level of an organisation. The learning experiences in this unit will help prepare the student to perform the role of strategic partner through developing a strategic mindset or way of looking at and thinking about the management of work and people in organisations. HR practitioners play a strategic partner role when they have the knowledge and skills to be an essential part of the senior management team running the organisation and translate business strategy into action. As part of the student's preparation for enacting the role of strategic partner they will need to become familiar with the theory, concepts and research in the field of Strategic HRM. Strategic HRM integrates the fields of Strategic Management and HRM, and is a field of study that is still taking form. Two broad themes are apparent in the emerging body of literature on Strategic HRM. First, an organisations human resources are of critical strategic importance. This means that all the experience, knowledge, skills, judgement, risk taking propensity and creativity of individuals associated with the organisation have the potential to provide both the foundation for strategy formulation and the means for strategy implementation. Second, a firms HR practices are instrumental in developing the strategic capability of its pool of human resources. In Strategic HRM students will learn about how the tools in the functions toolkit can be used to develop and organisations strategic capabilities.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
